Worship with us live from wherever you are and stay connected to us and God's Word.
Come as you are.
There's no dress code at Hope Lutheran—just come as you are. Whether you feel most comfortable in a suit or dress, business casual, or jeans and a t-shirt, you'll fit right in. We believe what matters most is gathering together to worship, grow in faith, and experience God's love in a welcoming community where everyone is valued.
Sunday Worship.
Gather with us each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for a traditional, Christ-centered worship service rooted in the Lutheran Service Book and accompanied by the inspiring sound of our Holtkamp pipe organ.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month - if you desire to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion, please speak with the Pastor before the service.
A Welcoming Community.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll be greeted by friendly faces and a welcoming congregation that encourages one another in faith—kids are always welcome. Together, we serve our community and the Lord while building meaningful relationships.
Adult Bible Class
9:15am - 10:15am Sundays. Recent studies have included The Life of St. Paul, Conversion, Conflict Resolution, Esther and The Gospel according to St. Matthew, Ezra and Nehemiah. All of our classes use the English Standard Version translation.
Children's Sunday School
From September to May, 9:15am - 10:15am Sundays for children preschool through grade 5 meet in the youth room for Bible lessons, music & craft. Grades 6 and above meet upstairs in the youth room for Bible discussion and games. Our congregation uses educational materials from our synod's Concordia Publishing house.
New Membership/ Confirmation Class
Those interested in membership at Hope Lutheran Church will need to meet with Pastor Kozak. Both Youth and Adult confirmation classes are scheduled as needed, as we want to be accommodating to your schedule. Our study is based on the Holy Scriptures as explained in Luther's Small Catechism.
Fellowship Hour
Join us for Fellowship Hour on the second Sunday of each month after the worship service for coffee, cookies, and conversation, and discover ways to get involved at Hope Lutheran.
